An excellent piece of film making. Alan Coulson's "Ashes" is a slow burner and all the better for it. The time it takes for the characters and their respective back stories to develop and intertwine is very satisfying and the pace of the film and its story are well matched.The climax is suitably tense and well executed.
The four leads are all excellent (as are the supporting players) and deliver the realistic script with great sensitivity and skill, making you believe their characters and their situations totally.
The direction, cinematography and editing are extremely competent and the soundtrack is well chosen to match the piece.
Definitely worth a look and deserves a wider audience.
